Is your Rebel a 1650lb gross airplane? Not sure? While the wing is the primary area of concern, there are other areas that are involved with increasing the gross weight to 1650. The current assembly manual depicts a 1650 airplane. So, a configuration check with the current manual is a good way to en...

Here they are: Murphy Aircraft Approved Gross Weights Model Wheels Floats G Limit Ultimate Rebel Rotax 912 1450 1522 Plus 5.7 Minus 3.8 Rebel Lycoming 1650 1...

If you use 2 1/2X, it allows you to go to the next size up and still have good edge distance. I say rule of thumb because of course if you go to much thicker material you can use even less edg...

Hi Leon, I have been recieving your e-mails but it would appear that nobody is getting my replies. System problems continue I'm afraid. I will respond as soon as our problems are fixed. As for the picture that you sent me of Maverick S/N 003, those gear legs are the tapered steel rod type, but with ...

Leon,
I recieved your test e-mail at shipping and have replied. I'm thinking that you may not have recieved it as apparently nobody else has recieved any of my e-mails today from either address. We have been experiencing problems with our system.......they are working on it!
